Harbour View Crematorium, Funeral Home & Woodland Burial Ground

Harbour View Crematorium, Funeral Home & Woodland Burial Ground Harbour View offers a holistic way to arrange and celebrate a funeral at competitive cost in Dorset.

Outlook Bereavement Support is a service offered by Tapper Funeral Service, the only remaining long-established family owned and run funeral business in Poole, Dorset, UK. Estabished in 1904, Tapper Funeral Service has offices in Bournemouth, Broadstone, Christchurch, Highcliffe, Milford on Sea, New Milton, Poole and Ringwood

As you would expect from a business with over 100 years of service and experience, we have a range of in-house and partnered services that includes anything and everything to do with the arranging and managing of a funeral, as well as a new service, Bereavement Care. While bereavement care offers no miracle cure, there are ways to help move forward and in itself, understanding your own bereavement helps. We offer:

- advice
- practical assistance
- forums via local get-togethers
- web based resources
- a social environment for like minded people that can be tapped into at anytime now or in the future. We also operate 'Harbour View' in Poole which is no ordinary burial ground or funeral facility. It occupies a position that enjoys a host of wildlife and nature along with dramatic views of the lagoon areas of Poole Harbour, the Purbeck Hills and Corfe Castle. We have installed the very latest equipment at all of our offices, and our interviewing lounges provide an atmosphere of comfort and tranquillity. The staff represent the very best in their individual fields. We strive to offer a service which is personal, helpful, efficient and unobtrusive.

🌸 Recognising Funeral Celebrant Day 🌸

At Harbour View, we believe every farewell should be as unique as the life it honours. We are proud to have our own dedicated in‑house funeral celebrants, who guide families with compassion and care to create ceremonies that truly reflect their loved one’s story.

We also take this opportunity to recognise the many other funeral celebrants working with us, and across our community. Their dedication, warmth, and creativity ensure that families everywhere can find comfort in meaningful, personal farewells.

On this Funeral Celebrant Day, we extend our gratitude to all celebrants for the dignity and support they provide.
